Trieste, Italy, May 30, 2014 – Italy coach
Mauro Berruto has praised his team after they defeated Iran in straight sets 3-0
(25-19, 25-22, 25-23) to continue their excellent run in the FIVB Volleyball World

Iran resistance was strong, but Italy were stronger. We served well and
attacked well from the wings.”

have played at the same level of Italy, but in my opinion the Italian serve was

"We tried to face the Italian attacks, but they are in a top shape. We’ll
need something more for Verona match.”
